A Motorcycle Accident Attorney Can Help You
The sense of freedom offered to motorcycle riders is unparalleled. Unfortunately, that freedom comes with the increased danger presented by others on the road. Motorcyclists lack the same protections that motorists have in their cars and trucks. Auto accidents generally leave motorcyclists much worse off than someone in a car.
Motorcyclists can be left with constantly growing medical expenses, the significant stress on both the biker and their loved ones that comes with substantial medical care, and the general uncertainty that you are left with after an accident.
The Advocates are here to help with your motorcycle accident claim. Our Utah motorcycle accident lawyers have years of experience that we combine with an empathy-based approach to attorney-client relationships to make the legal process as stress-free as we can for you.

- Impaired driving: Whether from alcohol or medications, impairment is unsafe when operating a vehicle.
- Failure to see the motorcyclist: Drivers should always pay attention, and motorcyclists should consider wearing high-visibility clothing to be seen more easily to avoid a car accident.
- Failure to give motorcyclists appropriate space: Motorcycles should be given the same space any other vehicle would take.
Best Utah Motorcycle Rides
Wasatch Front
Utah has some of the best scenery in the country for motorcyclists to enjoy on their rides. The winding canyon roads of the Wasatch Front provide incredible views and unrivaled thrills for bikers up to the challenge.
One of the best rides is taking the back roads from Ogden to Salt Lake City. The ride takes you through the Wasatch Mountains, where you will encounter winding canyon roads, ride past Pineview Reservoir, and go over incredible mountain passes.
Southern Utah
Southern Utah is rife with incredible places to ride your motorcycle. There are five national parks in Southern Utah, known as The Mighty Five. Each of them offers excellent rides and stunning views.
Zion National Park is a favorite for people from all over the world. Even just driving (or riding) through the park inspires awe and will leave you with memories to last a lifetime.
